New Beginnings

Last week...

It'd been too long since I'd been to the theatre, so I had to see the stage production of Beauty and the Beast for the third time. They've changed the show a little bit since the last time I saw it, but it's still magnifique!





Clint Eastwood movies are like their own genre. There's so often just this peace to his pictures and a warmth to his characters. While I'll concede that Hereafter does not match his previous films like The Bridges of Madison County and Million Dollar Baby, it is a very good picture. Built around the unifying theme of death, Hereafter is a multi-storyline plot that all comes together at the end. It's not exciting and it's not flashy, but the story is solid and the performances are so good that you can't help but enjoy the movie.
